With today’s media driven push for Hollywood-style beauty, fuller lips – whether they are natural or surgically enhanced – are often considered youthful and sexy. Stars, like Angelina Jolie, Meg Ryan and Jessica Simpson, have popularized the full lip look and created a heightened demand. As a result, I see many patients who are looking for fuller lips. In most cases, however, patients are seeking a procedure that will result in a natural appearance. Facial beauty can be enhanced by fuller lips if the procedure is properly performed.
As this is a popular request, I have made it my priority to perfect solutions that make sense and really make my patients happy. Several procedures will achieve the desired results – each with its advantages and disadvantages – so it’s important to consider all your options before proceeding. This is most important because, regardless of the method, fuller lips can only be achieved by adding something to the lips to increase volume.
Procedures To Consider for Fuller Lips include:
- Fillers
- Implants
- Surgical Lip Enlargement – Fat Transfer or Tissue Advancement
The appropriate procedure for each individual should be determined with a physician consultation to make sure the end result looks natural and enhances the overall appearance of the face. Additionally, the lips should remain sensitive to light touch, and most importantly in my opinion, be kissable. I will discuss each of the procedures you may want to consider in my next post.
